I have a greensand filter and just noticed that there is water in the drain tube. I've seen this a few times over the last 2weeks when I've checked...but can't say for sure it happens all the time....

I am putting some 4.25" ceramic tile above the tub/shower surround in my kids' bathroom. I was wondering what the standard or proper way to align the bullnose in respects to everything else. The...

Sorry to bring up this old post again...but there are still problems. I now may also have a water softener problem - but back to the iron filter.

I again am noticing the smell again (not exactly...

Yes, I did clean the pot tank. There were clumps of the stuff I took out, kept the liquid and poured it back in.
After this is when I noticed there was no draw from the tank, thus this thread and...

Any comments on the suggestion of sanitizing the well/plumbing - suggested by the guy I bought the greensand filter?
If the greensand filter worked to remove the smell before, why not now?

Before...

Staining? I think so. When we moved in the house a couple years ago, I don't remember how bad it was...except for the fiberglass tub in the basement is really stained. But that was stained badly when...

The water still smells.

I've been adding a bunch of Potassium Permanaganate to the tank over the past month. I was usually adding about 4oz per month before. When I cleaned the brine tank a couple months ago, I saved much...

It has been through at least 10 regenerations since the repair. It actually started working when I cleaned the injector/throat on the 9th of July. After it was working, I manually put it through...

I purchased 2 sets of injector nozzle and throats and put a brand new set in. The filter is now drawing in the potassium in.
But, the water still smells bad. When I first installed the filter, the...

I think it's working now. I took the gray tube off and checked for suction at the injector nozzle housing. I felt a tiny bit of suction (maybe) with a little bit of pressure. It seemed to pulse about...

The pressure is 40/60. I just replaced the pressure tank last week, but was having the no pot/perm drawing problem before that.
Here's a picture of the wheel with pins:

When drain line is mentioned, is that the drain line of the brine tank? I blew that out. It's clear.
The other drain line from the Fleck head is obviously clear since when put into a manual cycle,...

It appears there's no suction during the first ear position on the black cam. I manually advanced the big knob to get the black cam to go to the first ear. I took the small tube going to the small...

I did clean the throat at the same time. I thought it was all just called the same thing. Sorry about that.

I found this manual online: ...

I searched the form, but got so many results that weren't relevant - I have to say my search wasn't very good.

I'm a homeowner, not a plumber. Though, I did successfully install the greensand...

I was snowblowing the neighbor's driveway a few weeks ago and we started about things we're doing. I mentioned that I was going to sanitize my well because of the rotten egg smell. He said he had a...

I just installed a greensand filter.
The only maintenance I was advised to do is once per year.
dump the potassium tank water into a large bucket
take the foam/filter thing out

clean...
